Shawn Green, Arizona Luis Gonzalez, the resident fan and clubhouse favorite in Phoenix, is staying put. He has a complete no-trade clause, the Diamondbacks are in the thick of the National League West race, and general manager Josh Byrnes knows he would be playing with public relations dynamite by shopping Gonzo. Green is a long shot as well, but more because of his declining skills and his contract. He has 10 homers in 364 at-bats, and the old bat speed and pep are too often absent from his game. "He's what you'd call a low-energy player," said an American League executive. Green is also signed for $9.5 million next year, a hefty amount given the Diamondbacks' youth movement and the surplus of outfield talent in the system. Arizona easily could go with an outfield of Carlos Quentin in right field, an Eric Byrnes-Jeff DaVanon platoon in center or left, and Chris Young or Scott Hairston at the other spot next season. Green has a no-trade clause that allows Arizona to deal him to only three clubs -- the Padres, Giants(這是錯的，是Dodgers) and Angels -- without his consent. There are some procedural hoops to jump through, but he might be flexible if it's clear the Diamondbacks have no place for him. Bobby Abreu's no-trade clause covered 29 teams, and the Phillies still found a way to send him to the Yankees. St. Louis was mentioned in Green speculation before the deadline, but the Cardinals lacked the interest and/or resources to make it happen. At least general manager Walt Jocketty knows what it takes to acquire a high-priced outfielder in August: Two years ago, he helped St. Louis' postseason push by acquiring Larry Walker in a trade with Colorado. Shawn Green Right Field Arizona Diamondbacks Profile 2006 SEASON STATISTICS GM HR RBI R OBP AVG 99 10 46 53 .356 .294 --- 看樣子Green有很大的機會會被交易掉， 以通過waiver的方式。 對像是Cardinals。 他們在2004也透過同樣的方式得到了Larry Walker。 反正一定是換不到什麼好貨， 但是我們可以看到Quentin everyday。 --
